Tampa, Florida: The Best City in the South

An urban center must yield gifts to its residents and tourists. Attractions, dining, culture the more personality a city adopts from the population the better. In America's southern states we find charming townships, citadels and occasionally a city will draw a unique lure from its traditions and locals. It is clear, the South has a spirit all its own, but which is the city to plan your next vacation?

Follow 95 all the way to Florida, to our destination, the lovely Tampa Bay. Here we find attractions for all walks. Stadiums hosting the nation's best athletes, the best winters found in the U.S., beaches to write home about, world class health care and above all else a people full of pride for their community.

There are cultural pagaents throughout every season of the year such as Guavaween, Gasparilla, not to mention friday nights. Ybor city , in downtown Tampa is a cultural haven where it is clear history has laxadaisically left the pages unturned. There you see balconies brimming with burbouns and banter concerning how lovely the evening has been. Morale and historical quirkiness are not the only elevated spirits. Locals find themselves business owners, artists find themselves showcased, trade and skill are not underestimated as in other more modern cities.
